Description

3 new OSM Vector Map Packs are needed, that include "full zoom" detail across…

  • ~30 countries where Spanish is spoken:
    • This one might be as simple as 2 bounding boxes merged together (hopefully!)
  • ~30 countries where French is spoken:
    • NOTE: this includes countries like Algeria and Morocco that do not officially speak French, but each have 10+ Million French speakers!
    • One option may be to add map zoom detail for {Quebec, Madagascar, Belgium, Switzerland and France} to the large French-speaking region of West and Central Africa.
    • Adding all of Canada would requite way too many GB. But perhaps New Brunswick ("Canada's other francophone province") can be included in addition to Quebec, if that's very easy?
  • ~25 countries where Arabic is spoken:
    • This one might be as simple as 1 single bounding box hopefully!

All 3 are not simple bounding box rectangles unfortunately, so we'll discuss how best to make this happen during upcoming IIAB Thursday calls (http://minutes.iiab.io).

ASIDE: the above 3 are much more urgent than #1170 ("Haiti Diaspora Map Pack: HT + DR + Cuba + S. Florida + Greater NYC (+ NJ?) + Boston + Montreal + Sao Paulo/Brazil + Santiago/Chile + Bahamas (+ Paris + Atlanta + Philly?)") for reasons that I'll explain during upcoming IIAB calls (http://minutes.iiab.io).
